Shayne is daring me to do this lol… He thinks you guys would enjoy watching me follow one of my older tutorials.
Who’s down for this type of video?
Here’s the catch: I actually haven’t previewed it beforehand. So you're going to get a 100% genuine reaction outa me 😂 Expect plenty of laughs and probably me wondering what I was thinking…haha
Drop your Thoughts!
Hi!
What is the smallest mini-album in terms of height and width? I have a ton of cardstock scraps and would like to put them to use. I’d like the album to hold as many photos as possible.
My latest...the classy album. This was fun to see Francés in a non-edited video mode and to have Shayne's opinions as well! 😊
I had the "Call of the Wild" set from echo Park which I love! The colors are so rich and just pop.
I think the classy album would be great for any one time occasion with the large photo spot and then so many differently sized smaller photos...graduation, new baby, birthday milestone. As with so many, I love this one
Hey friends, I am not against Ai, it’s great for writting and generating ideas, BUT, We don’t need Ai to modify our art to make it “look better.”
This community is for sharing our actual handmade projects. Ai takes away the human element, which is the entire purpose behind something being handmade.
So, this has been added to our Community Guidelines:
“Authentic Photos Only - No Ai
This is a place for us to celebrate real, handmade projects. Please post only genuine photos of your actual projects. Ai-altered or artificial mockups are not allowed”
I have noticed an increase in Ai-generated images of artwork in craft spaces and I want this to be a safe place away from all of that.
Thanks for reading,
Have a great weekend!
Love, Frances

Hello everyone! We are so excited to launch our November community challenge hosted by Rebecca Robinson!
For this month, we will be making the Flutter Folio focusing on the theme Elements of Nature — Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. You can use one, some, or all of the elements in your album!
Examples for each element:
Earth: Nature hiking paper, woodlands, and forests
Water: Ocean, beach papers, blues, waves, and aquatic patterns
Fire: Warm colors, oranges, reds, and golden hues
Air: Birds, clouds, dandelion fluff, and things that soar like planes, helicopters, hot air balloons
We cannot wait to see what beautiful folios you create, Ready? Set....Go!

My current set up ( post yours! )
Let’s play! Fill in the blank….”and that’s a _______” ( comment your answers! )
I did two of the quicker projects today - the Cheerflip Folio and the Notepad Holder. This completes my first page of the list.
I didn't open the Cheerflip for photos since it's just photo spots.
And excuse the weird, oddly colored notepad. I didn't have one of the right size to use. 🤷🤦. My handwriting needs work but it's for me so I can deal with it.
I plan to fill the Cheerful with photos to send to my mom in Oregon.
Hello all! Francės Long here is my checklist🫢. Still have some to make. 😍
